Kakadu National Park
Summer in the north of Australia is referred to as The Wet. Rainfall routinely floods roads, cutting off attractions and therefore limiting the number of visitors. Maike gets there a day before me and determines that Darwin has little to offer. We rent a car and set off for Kakadu National Park.
Ubirr is the top site in Kakadu for aboriginal rock art. Our timing is unfortunate, however. The water in the area is too high for driving but too low for boats.
We do take a cruise on Yellow Water Billabong. Apparently, Yellow Water is a recent name for this location -- the name was changed to make it more appealing to visitors.
Your joke here.
The area is a floodplain for the South Alligator river and is rich with wildlife. We see flying foxes and sea eagles but no alligators.
Nourlangie Rock is another rock art site and it can be reached. This spirit was particularly feared for good reason.
Nourlangie also features a hike to a lookout.
Rain washes away the rest of the day.
